I forgot to mention one of my AMv2 goals is a no boeing fleet. Don't get me wrong I like boeing in real life, but in game I am going different

Indeed I am. Just so it's clear for all, my former life was not as a bomb technician, i.e. bomb squad. I was (and forever will be) an AMMO Troop.

Indoor volleyball is my thing. If I could find a place around here that had a league or at least regular pickup games, I'd be all over it.

I despise cable technicians. :mad:

You can call the 800 number and request a refresh to the box without having to speak to anybody.

Me <- eminently unqualified to play with explosives. That, however, do not stop me from playing as a high school lad. How none of us lost a limb, let alone lived is amazing in retrospect.

Thanks - I used the online method of re-activating the boxes with no luck. :(

Both Scientific Atlanta and Moto have PDFs of their manuals online for download. You might want to download yours and try the re-boot sequence.

Or, just start with the "unplug for 5 minutes and plug it back in" trick, :rolleyes:

My day (well, since I left the office) continues to go well - stopped at the grocery store and there was a 6-pack left of one of my favorite beers.

That kind of playing with explosives is the stuff that gets kids killed. The stuff that I deal with that gets dropped from the sky is ridiculously stable. You can shoot at the bombs that aircraft drop if the fuze assemblies are not installed. The casings are 1/4 to 1/2 inch steel and they laugh at rifle or handgun bullets that are .50 caliber or under. The general rule when dealing with explosive material is one that is the opposite of life in general: the normal people say that good things come in small packages. In my old world, the smaller something was, the larger the odds that it could ruin your day. Non-electric blasting caps have a dubious history of removing fingers, hands, and eyes.

I was going to go with the disconnect overnight method of repair... :rolleyes:

I'll check for the manual as well.

It sound like you have too much resistance in the line. Make sure the cable is connected directly from the wall to the box and then to the TV. If it passes through another device like an old VCR it will cause that to happen. Also too many line splits with a non digital line splitter will do the same thing.

Comcrap internet is driving me nuts. I have no clue how many e-mails I didn't get last week. I've been slowly receiving e-mails all day long that were sent on Saturday.

OK. rant off!!

Get yourself down to the Riverwalk and have a maragrita and marvel how you can't see the concrete bottom of the river when it's only about three feet deep.

You too, eh?

Randomly, has anyone ever had white port? I've had MANY brands of port, but I just ordered one in the HGI Montreal. The response was, "white or red?" The last few times here they offered the 3 brands of red, but not white... never heard of it, actually. Any thoughts?

Night, Box. I've been in front of a screen too much today.
